Sheet Pan Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Every once in a while I feel like I just have a genius idea hit me like a freight train. Sheet Pan Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches was definitely one of those ideas. (Other genius ideas include my Chocolate M&M Cookies and No Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake)

These ice cream sandwiches do take some time, but they are so easy!! I love how they can be customized a hundred different ways, too. For instance, make some Strawberry Ice Cream for a more Neapolitan ice cream sandwich. And if you are needing a GF option, there is a recipe for Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwiches, too!

Trust me, the brownies make the perfect bookends to your ice cream sandwich. You’ll never want to make then another way again!

How to make Sheet Pan Brownie Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sheet Pan Brownies

First, we need to make the brownies. You’ll take two boxed brownie mixes (each box should advertise making a 9×13 pan) and make them in a parchment lined cookie sheet (18×13 inch pan).

The parchment paper is very important.. very important.  The brownies will be cut in half and then flipped to make the top of the sandwich, without the parchment paper, this step is very difficult.

Let’s chat about elevating your boxed brownie mix. Classically, the boxed brownie mix will call for water, oil and a few eggs. To make your brownies extra rich, use milk and melted butter instead of the water and oil.

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes.

COOL COMPLETELY. And then cool them some more by tossing them into the freezer for 30 minutes.

Putting together the Ice Cream Sandwiches

Once the brownies are super cold/almost frozen, scoop vanilla ice cream onto half of the brownies.

Gently spread the vanilla ice cream to cover half of the brownies. After the vanilla ice cream has been spread smooth, use a sharp knife to cut the brownies down the middle, along the ice cream line.

You can cut right through the parchment paper if your knife is sharp enough, if your’s isn’t (like mine!) you can just tear it.

Flip the brownies right on top of the vanilla ice cream and then freeze for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Slicing the Ice Cream Sandwiches

Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the ice cream sandwiches into strips. If the ice cream starts to come out, toss the pan back into the freezer for an additional 30 minutes and then try again.

Once you have cut strips, flip the strip on to it’s side (so looking down you see the sandwich: brownie, ice cream, brownie- not just the brownie top) and then cut the strip into squares. 

Store in the freezer until ready to serve.
